JUN 21 | Pablo Neruda Reading 6/03/2008 Saturday, June 21, 7:30 p.m. Poems-For-All presents WILLIAM O'DALY READING PABLO NERUDA The Hands of Day: at long last translated into English in its entirety The Book Collector 1008 24th Street Between J & K Streets Sacramento 916.442.9295 William O?Daly is the best-selling translator of six of Pablo Neruda?s books, including ?The Book of Questions? and ?The Sea and the Bells.? This reading will be the first celebrating the release of ?The Hands of Day,? (Copper Canyon, 2008) and will feature readings from that book as well as excerpts from the forthcoming translation of ?World?s End? (Copper Canyon, 2009). O?Daly may toss in a few poems of his own, but this will be primarily a reading of translations from ?Hands.? Copies of the book will be available for sale at the reading. Pablo Neruda is one of the world?s great poets, and Copper Canyon Press has long been dedicated to publishing translations of his work in bilingual editions. "The Hands of Day" -- at long last translated into English in its entirety -- pronounces Neruda?s desire to take part in the great human making of the day. Moved by the guilt of never having worked with his hands, Neruda opens with the despairing confession, "Why did I not make a broom? / Why was I given hands at all?" The themes of hands and work grow in significance as Neruda celebrates the carpenters, longshoremen, blacksmiths, and bakers-those laborers he admires most-and shares his exuberant adoration for the earth and the people upon it. - - - Price: Free.
